I consider it a privilege to support clients as they navigate the transition to parenthood, heal from parental or childhood wounds, move beyond "survival mode" by developing strategies for a more manageable and sustainable life, and identify and understand unhelpful relationship dynamics to cultivate more fulfilling and meaningful interactions.

Hey — I'm genuinely glad you're here. I'm Tamika, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor based in North Carolina. I work with adults, children, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, family conflict, addiction, and the kind of stress that builds quietly over time until it's hard to ignore. I specialize in working with Black and BIPOC clients, women, and families who want a therapist who truly gets the cultural and personal context of their lives — not just a clinical checklist. My practice is fully telehealth, so you can access support from anywhere in North Carolina without the commute or the waiting room. I accept Aetna, Cigna, Carelon Behavioral Health, and other major insurance plans, because access to quality mental health care shouldn't be a financial obstacle.

Dana Spangler

Therapist

Virtual • Asheville, NC


My clients would say I am down to earth, non-judgmental, authentic, warm and compassionate. I often use humor in sessions and find this can ease discomfort around working through hard things. I show up with my own lived experiences which helps me in my work with clients. I am also learning to navigate the world as chaotic and crazy as things feel while parenting children through the process.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Supervisor and have worked in the field for more than 10 years. My experience ranges from school based therapy, community mental health, hospital psychiatric intake and now private practice. I have worked with children, adolescents adults and couples. I especially enjoy working with those within the LGBTQIA+ communities. My specialties are trauma/PTSD, OCD, Couples work and Anxiety. I also enjoy attachment focused treatments and working through negative beliefs we developed as children.

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Charlotte

Searching for family therapists in Charlotte starts with finding someone trained to support the relationships and patterns within a family, not just one person. Family therapy can help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, sibling conflict, mother-daughter concerns, and communication breakdowns across generations. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with family systems, attachment-based family therapy, play therapy, or other approaches that match what your family wants to work on.

Charlotte has many counselors across neighborhoods like Uptown, South End, Dilworth, NoDa, and Ballantyne, which can make it harder to narrow your options. Decide whether in-person sessions near home, school, or work make sense, or whether virtual appointments offer a better fit for multiple schedules. Family therapy sessions may include the full family, smaller groups, or individual members at different times, so it helps to review therapist bios for session structure, availability, communication style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Therapy in Charlotte can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find family therapists who are accepting new patients, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans. You can browse profiles, check fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
